[MiQP-Mail] ARPS ?

[K9TM]

Actually for a mobile in MiQP there is little difference between ARPS and self-spotting on packet.

Without specific verbiage in the rules one can guess what the answer is based on other MiQP rules... since MiQP doesn't allow single-ops to use packet it seems that it would be out for mobile-solo.  Since mobile also has multi-op, it seems that mobile multi-ops could use packet.  However even with packet use, it is not permitted to self-spot.

The question becomes is ARPS seen as self-spotting?

If a comment in ARPS says freq/band-mode then it would be easy to see it as same as self-spotting on packet.  Without this freq/band-mode info, it is an indication of location and based on time of day we basically know what band a mobile in Mi is likely going to be on.

Seems we need the MiQP committee to weigh in on the official answer.
